I just cut an inch off the end of the tubing that comes witht the boost gauge

 

[CupraSteve]

thanks for that, ok, my gauge hasnt come with any tubing, iv since been to b and q and bought sum 3mm clear tubing, this does appear to be quite thin though, any other recommendations for tubing i can get from halfords when i go later?

read post seven again fella.

 

[CupraSteve]

ahh windscreen washer tubing cool

 

[CupraSteve]

right so i need to insert the t piece into this pipe here yea?

 

[cordobabrendy]

i went for the top of the dv rather than the fpr.

is the best guide you will find ^^^

iv heard that some peoples boost gauges havent worked from the top of the dv, and jabba recommended the fpr too

 

[cordobabrendy]

some people? if it doesnt work then they are either A. thick and havent put it on right. or B. theres a problem with the dv. it will work on all seat 20vt engines mate. I moved mine from the intake manifold pipe to there as the original place was getting a flickering effect on idle.

 

[CupraSteve]

sorry bad wording, i meant havent worked properly from the top of the dv, im all up for trying it from the dv though

 

[ALEX**]

the seat mechs use the fpr jabba use the fpr so that was good enough for me

 

[CupraSteve]

so alex if u take a look at mypic above am i cutting the correct pipe?

 

[ALEX**]

yes mate u will be
